\subsection{General information}
This template continues as if the "other language" option had been chosen, meaning that the article proper, in English, begins on page 4. Its length corresponds to that of a short paper.

USUAL but IMPORTANT: papers must conform to the official COLING-2012 style guidelines (downloadable from the website).

Submission and reviewing will be on-line, managed by the START system. The only accepted format for submitted papers is PDF. Supplementary material, if any, in the form of tools or resources, must be in the form of a single .zip or a .tgz archive file with a maximum size of 10MB; otherwise there are no constraints on its format. Submissions, together with all supplementary material, must be uploaded on the START system by the submission deadlines; submissions after that time will not be reviewed.

To minimize network congestion, we request authors to upload their submissions as early as possible (especially if they contain large supplementary material files). Improved versions of the submissions may be uploaded until the deadline.

Submissions must be in the format described in this template. If for some reason you have a problem producing this format, please contact organisers as early as possible. Organisers reserve the right not to publish papers not conforming to the required format.

On acceptance of a submission, precise instructions will be given on how to send the camera ready version, and in some cases with required modifications. Camera ready versions not conforming to programme committee’s improvement requests will be considered as unsent, and hence will not be presented at the conference and will not be included in the proceedings.

\subsection{More on the format of submissions}
Since several years, scientific conferences have been distributing proceedings on electronic media to avoid producing printed versions. Printed versions are given to only those participants who explicitly request and pay for them. Most participants get the proceedings on a CD or on a USB key. That is a very good idea, but the drawback is that very few participants manage to read more than a small number of papers, typically less than 1/10th or 1/20th of the number available in the proceedings. The main reason seems to be that is it very awkward to read traditional A4 sized portrait double-column articles on usual laptop screens. 

The recent JEP-TALN-RECITAL-2012 conferences have successfully addressed that problem by proposing a template that is optimised for reading on PC screens. COLING-2012 and associated events propose to use it, with the option of using the Times New Roman font for authors having problems with installing the slightly better fonts Charter, Charis, or Georgia.

\subsubsection{Document format \& character fonts}
\emph{Submissions will be in PDF, with page dimensions of 150 mm x 210 mm, and margins of 5 mm on all sides.} That corresponds to A5 (148.2 mm x 209.9 mm) with 4.1 mm horizontal margins and 5 mm vertical margins.  To get the same layout on an A4 format while preparing a submission, choose A4 and put the margins at 35 mm (horizontal) and 48.3 mm (vertical).
\newpage
\emph{No header or footer should be present in submissions.}

The \emph{preferred fonts} have been chosen because they are optimised for reading on screen while being elegant in print. If possible, submissions prepared with LaTeX should use the \emph{Charter (Bitstream)} font. Users of Word or LibreOffice should use an equivalent font, namely (in order of preference):
\begin{compactenum}
\item\emph{Charter} (via Bitstream), available on most Linux and in LaTeX \emph{texlive} installations.
\item\emph{Charis SIL} (via SIL). It is an extension of the Charter font, and is available at \href{http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=CharisSIL_download}
{http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item\_id=CharisSIL\_download}); 
\item\emph{Georgia.} This font is included  in MS Word by default.
\end{compactenum} 
If authors encounter problems in installing one of the preferred fonts, they should use Times New Roman (available in all platforms) as default font, with the same point sizes.

\emph{The body of the text should be in size 10pt, the titles in bold 11pt for levels 1 \& 2, and 10pt from level 3 onwards.}
%2.2.2
\subsubsection{Pages and paragraphs}
Paragraphs use single spacing and are justified left and right. They are not indented, but are separated by a half-line vertical space (6pt above and below).

The first page contains only the title, the names and affiliations of authors, the abstract(s) and the keywords (see page 1 of this template).

The body of the paper, including the introduction, begins on page 4 if a condensed (2-page) synopsis in another language L$_{2}$ is included, and on page 2 otherwise. 

A LaTeX stylesheet, a Word template, and an ODT template are available on the COLING-2012 website. Submissions will be handled interactively under SoftConf. 
%2.2.3
\subsubsection{Submission sizes}
Here are the length limits according to the type of submission. "Any number of reference pages" means that pages used for bibliographical and Internet references are not counted in the page number limits. However, it stands to reason that reviewers will accept only reasonable sizes.\\\\\\
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline
full papers & 14 A5 pages with any number of reference pages & Oral presentation\\
\hline
short papers & 8 A5 pages with any number of reference pages & Poster presentation\\
\hline
demo papers & 6 A5 pages with any number of reference pages & Demonstration\\
\hline
\end{tabular}\\

Papers are in English. However, if an author so wishes s/he may add elements in another language (L$_{2}$): a title, an abstract and keywords on the first page, and 2 pages (a synopsis) in L$_{2}$, beginning on page 2. Such papers will have 14+2 (or 8+2, or 6+2) pages, plus any number of pages for reference. 
%2.3
\subsection{Other formatting elements}
%2.3.1	
\subsubsection{Lists}
Here is a bulleted list, where each element begins with an independent sentence (capitalized).
\begin{compactitem}
\item Its lines are separated by less vertical space than normal paragraphs.
\item We don’t add space between paragraphs of that same style.
\end{compactitem}

Here is a numbered list of items that are parts of an outside sentence. Take care to:
\begin{compactenum}
\item restart the numbering and get the numbers consecutive. 
\item not to capitalize the initial letter of such items.
\end{compactenum}
%2.3.2
\subsubsection{Figures and tables}
Figures and tables will be centered on the page, with a caption underneath. The caption will contain the keyword \textsc{Figure} or \textsc{Table} in small capitals, followed by the number of the figure or table. Numbers in each category are independent. Examples appear in this template. Equations and formulae may appear in line or centered on the page, without captions. A reference number may appear to the right of a formula or an equation.

\begin{table}[!h]
\setcounter{table}{0}
\centering
	\begin{tabular}{|c|p{5cm}|}
	\hline
	A table&\\
	\hline
	&The table is centered. Its cells may be optionally centered. Avoid full justification leading to very long horizontal spaces.\\
	\hline
	\end{tabular}
\caption{A table caption appears under it.}\label{Table}
\end{table}
%2.3.3
\subsubsection{Notes and references}
Footnotes\footnote{Here is one!} can be used.

References to the bibliography, for example \cite{Bernhard07}, are formatted with the APA style (see \href{http://www.apastyle.org/}{http://www.apastyle.org/}). It is available in all the LaTeX installations based on \emph{texlive} and on CTAN.

Users of Word or LibreOffice are encouraged to follow this style as much as possible when using their bibliography management tool (Mendeley, Zotero or Endnote). They can refer to the example below. Authors citing online references (URLs) should include the creation date in the reference.

The rest of this document only illustrates the format described above.

Tantus est igitur innatus in nobis cognitionis amor et scientiae ut nemo dubitare possit quin ad eas res hominum natura nullo emolumento invitata rapiatur. Videmusne ut pueri ne verberibus quidem a contemplandis rebus perquirendisque deterreantur ? Ut pulsi recurrant? Ut aliquid scire se gaudeant ? Ut id aliis narrare gestiant ? Ut pompa, ludis atque eius modi spectaculis teneantur ob eamque rem vel famem et sitim perferant ? Quid vero ? Qui ingeniis studiis atque artibus delectantur, nonne videmus eos nec valetudinis nec rei familiaris habere rationem omniaque perpeti ipsa cognitione et scientia captos et cum maximis curis et laboribus compensare eam quam ex discendo capiant voluptatem ?

Omne hoc tempus inter pugillares ac libellos iucundissima quiete transmisi. "Quem ad modum, inquis, in urbe potuisti ?"

Circenses erant, quo genere spectaculi ne levissime quidem teneor. nihil novum, nihil varium, nihil quod non semel spectasse sufficiat. Quo magis miror tot milia virorum tam pueriliter identidem cupere currentis equos, insistentis curribus homines videre.

Si tamen aut velocitate equorum aut hominum arte traherentur, esset ratio non nulla; nunc favent panno, pannum amant, et, si in ipso cursu medioque certamine hic color illuc, ille huc transferatur, studium favorque transibit, et repente agitatores illos, equos illos, quos procul noscitant, quorum clamitant nomina, relinquent. Tanta gratia, tanta auctoritas in una vilissima tunica, mitto apud volgus, quod vilius tunica, sed apud quosdam graves homines; quos ego cum recordor in re inani, frigida, assidua tam insatiabiliter desidere, capio aliquam voluptatem, quod hac voluptate non capior.

Ac per hos dies libentissime otium meum in litteris colloco, quos alii otiosissimis occupationibus perdunt. Vale. (PLINE Junior, Letters, IX, 6.)
